Three-dimensional inversion of gravity data using implicit neural representations and scientific machine learning
- 用隐式神经表示将地下密度建为连续场,无需网格划分
- 在合成模型上实现高分辨率结构重建,深度越深仍能保留细节
- 适合地质复杂区反演,可拓展至多物理场联合反演
重力数据反演是研究地下密度变化的重要手段,对矿产勘探、地热评估、碳封存、天然氢气、地下水及构造演化具有重要意义。本文提出一种基于科学机器学习的三维重力反演方法,采用隐式神经表示(INR)将地下密度建模为连续场,通过物理驱动的正演损失直接训练深度神经网络,实现从空间坐标到密度场的映射,无需预先定义网格或离散化。空间编码增强网络捕捉陡变边界和短波长特征的能力,克服了传统坐标基网络因频谱偏差导致的过度平滑问题。我们在合成模型上验证了该方法,包括光滑模型以模拟真实地质复杂性,以及倾斜块体模型以评估不同深度结构的恢复能力。结果表明,该框架能在不依赖显式正则化或深度加权的情况下,重建精细结构和地质合理的边界,且随着问题规模增大,反演参数数量显著减少。这些成果展示了隐式表示在可扩展、灵活且可解释的大规模地球物理反演中的潜力,该框架还可推广至其他地球物理方法及联合/多物理场反演。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Inversion of gravity data is an important method for investigating subsurface density variations relevant to mineral exploration, geothermal assessment, carbon storage, natural hydrogen, groundwater resources, and tectonic evolution. Here we present a scientific machine-learning approach for three-dimensional gravity inversion that represents subsurface density as a continuous field using an implicit neural representation (INR). The method trains a deep neural network directly through a physics-based forward-model loss, mapping spatial coordinates to a continuous density field without predefined meshes or discretisation. Spatial encoding enhances the network's capacity to capture sharp contrasts and short-wavelength features that conventional coordinate-based networks tend to oversmooth due to spectral bias. We demonstrate the approach on synthetic examples including smooth models, representing realistic geological complexity, and a dipping block model to assess recovery of structures at different depths. The INR framework reconstructs detailed structure and geologically plausible boundaries without explicit regularisation or depth weighting, while reducing the number of inversion parameters as the problem size grows bigger. These results highlight the potential of implicit representations to enable scalable, flexible, and interpretable large-scale geophysical inversion. This framework could generalise to other geophysical methods and for joint/multiphysics inversion.
